I was sure I had seen something like it before but certainly cant find it now, maybe it just reminds me of those infamous roman things..

I think it is 12 Pfennig of the german city of Hamm.
Date: begin 1600
Something like this : http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...-duid-216392
Some coins have a 'H above arms".

Agree with 'Petrus', look at the city arms in the Wikipedia link.
For many pre-modern and older coin the arms shown on coins are the best indicator where they are from.

yes, the description in the NGC link and the Chequerboard in the coat of arms on the Wiki link certainly add up to this.
